To all w/iom t may concern Be it known that I, HUBBARD N. JOsLEYN, citizen of the United States, and resident lof Syracuse, in the county ot'. Onondaga and State ot New York, have inventedl certain new and useful Improvements in Type- Writin lllachines, of which the following is a speci cation My invention relates to typewriting'machines of the' type' bar class, and has for its main object to provide improved constructions of type bars and type bar hangers for such machines.

Another object .ofthe invention is to pro ducea set of type bars and hangers for a visible Writing machine in which the hang ers provide exceptionally` Wide bearings for the type bars.

A further object is to arrange these exceptionally wide bearings in a relatively small are or space.

Another object lis to. spacethe type bars equally on a segmental support. and obtain the usual unequal separation in the basket to provide for a clearance of the types without altering the structure of the har itself.

Another object is to provide a uniform type loar for the Whole series of type bars, each'bar having unusually Wide bearings and the series oli bars being confined Within an arc of 120O or less on the segmental support. y Another object is to provide means for removing type bars ot the character described from their positions in the machine Without disturbing the adjoining type hars, their hangers or connections.

, Further objects than those recited will appear in the course of the following description.

To these ends my invention consists in the features of construction, combinations of devices and arrangements of parts hereinafter described at length and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying dra-Wings, Figure l is a central longitudinal sectional view of a typen'riting machine showing my invention applied thereto, such parts as are unnecessary to acomplete understanding o' my ihrv proveniente being omitted.

`My invention is shown as applied to :l front-strike ,writing-l machine having 'the general characteristics of 'the machine comr mercially known as the Monarch typewriter, lout I desire it to be understood that my invention may he vadapted to other constructions ot' Writing machines.

, the dog rocker arm 15,

A rack 10 is mounted in the carriage and normally meshes with a pinion 11 which is operatively connected with an escapement wheel 12. Feed dogs 13 are adapted to cooperate with the escapement wheel 12, said feed dogs being mounted at the top of the upright arm of a pivoted vibratory dog rocker or carrier 14 having a horizontally disposed arm 15. A link 16 engages with A the lower end of said link being connected with a universal bar frame 1'? pivoted at 18 in the base of the machine. rlhe frame 17 carries a universal bar 19 rwhich extends from side to side of the machine beneath a series of key levers 20, each of which is fulcrumed on a fulcrum plate 21 and is adapted when depressed du-r ing the' operation of the machine to actua-te the universal bar 19; Each key lever is provided with a restoring spring 22 which tends to restore it to normal position. The actuation of the universal bar 19 by any of the key levers, causes the feed dogs 13 to cooperate in a known manner with the escapement wheel 12, thereby permitting the earriage 5 and platen 4 to be drawn one letter space in printing direct-ion under the intluence of a spring drum 23 wit-h which the carriage 1s connected by aband or strap 2.4. Pivote'd at- 25 to each key lever 20 is a sub-lever 26 the lower end whereof is slotted to coperate with a iiXed abutment 27 and the upper end whereof is'connected by a link'28 with a type bar designated as a whole by the numeral 29.

The type bar'29 is best seen in Figs. 1, 3, 4 and 5 andcomprises a body portion 30 and a forked portion comprising two arms or side members 31 and 32A each extending Afrom the body portion 30 in a compound curve. The free end of the typebar is provided with a type block 33. The. arm extends upwardly from the top of the type bar and in the plane in which the type bar is designed to swing, that is, in the plane of rotation of the bar. Thereafter the arm 31 curves downwardly and at the saine time is offset. laterally from the side of the type bar toward the left at an angle of about 600, the end of the arm 31 being bent downwardly and extending parallel with the side of the body portion of the bar. In Figs. 3 and 4 the upwardly extending part of the arm 31- is designated as 31a, the downwardly and laterally extending portion as 31b and the end portion as 31e. The arm 32 first, curves or extends downward-ly from the bottom oi the body portion of the bar as indicated in the last mentioned .figures at 32a and thereafter extends upwardly and at the same time is offset laterally to the right of the body portion of the bar, as indicated at 32b,'ter minating in an end portion 3.2c parallel with the side ofthe body of the bar. Viewed from the side, as seen in Figs. 1 and 4, the

-and 32c of the type bar arvis Stand 32 form an elliptical opening or eye 34 near the pivot end oit the type bar. The end portions 31c and 32c are iormcd with. cup-like depressions or seats liiand 3G which receive pivotal bearings'l and 3S shaped preteraliily like the segments ot small spheres and provided with stems, the stem oi the lett-hand pivotal bearing 3T being shown in Fig. 5 and indicated by the numeral 3U. rlhe stems ot the rounded bearings 37 and 3S are received in openings in ears 40 and 41 in hanger arms 42 and 43 and are fixed to said hanger arms in any preferred manner as by riveting, or a driving tit, or the like. The inner taces ot thc ears 40 and 41 are beveled so that .said faces are in planes parallel with the. portions 31C arms but spaced some distance from the outer faces oi? said arms. The space or clearance between the outer faces ot' the ends 31c and 32C and the inner faces of the hanger ears 40 and 41 is best shown in Figs. 3 and 7 and is indicated by the reference character a. As clearly appears in Fig. 3 the lettehand hanger arm 42 is longer than thel hanger arm 43. The lower ends of the hanger arms are hook-shaped so that in front view said arms resemble the letter J in shape.. Securing screws 44 and 45 cooperate with the/ Hnger arms, said screws heilig received in threaded openings inthe, front face of a vertically disposed hanger support or seg` ment 46 and their heads engaging the two sides of the hooks at the lower ends of the hanger arms. The upper portion of the segment. 4G is formed with a forwardly projecting rib 47, said rib being provided with a series of radial slots 43, each of which receives a hanger arm 42 and a bange' arm 43, said hanger arms cooperating with. dit ferent type bars and being parts of di (lei-ent. hangers.

The relative arrangement and disposition of the hanger arms are best shown in the front elevations (Figs. 2 and 3). It. will be observed that the hook-like lower ends orn the shorter hanger arms 43 are engaged. by the heads of the smaller securing screws 45 and are thereby secured to the segment 46, the screws 45 lying in an are of a circle and each being between two of the longer hanger arm's 42. The screws 44 secure the longer hanger arms in place and'lie in an arc of a circle greater than and concentric with the circle containing the smaller screws 45. The slots 48 in -the segment 4G are spaced equal distances apart, and cach is oi such width as to permit the twondjoining hanger arms 42 and 43 to fit snugly in said slot so as to prevent any lateral or sidewise movement of said hanger arms. Each y hanger arm contacts on one side with the wall of the slotyand on the other side ith the other hanger arm mounted in said slot.

. the bar and that a plurality of bearings of f` bserved, that the lower bearing arm of'each type doar passes upwardly 'through the eyes arm about its securing of the type bar, is the third It will, therefore, be understood that the two The construction is such that when either of the securing screws 4st or 45, which hold said hanger arms in place on the segment, is loosened, the contiguous hanger armv Ll2 or 43 may be mo/ved radially in the slot independently ofthe other hanger arm, but no sidewise .movement of said loose hanger arm and no swinging movement of said `hanger screw asa pivot is possible.'

As is most clearly seen in Fig. 3 each type, bar is positioned to lie midway betweentwo adjoining slots 48. The hanger arm* 43, which carries the right-hand pivotal bearing of the shorter hanger arms counting from the type bar to the right, While the hanger arnrtQ. which carries the left-hand pivotal bearing of the type bar is the third of `the longer hanger arms counting from the type bar `to the left.

hanger arms 42 and 43 which go tio make up the complete hanger for each type bar are separated from saidvbar by a considerable distance, giving a very broad bearing for other type bars are interposed between each type bar` andyits own bearing .or pivotal points. It will further be understood that-"zA between the pivotal points of each bar, interposed a plurality of pivotal points of other bars, each of said interposed pivotal points belonging to a different type bar,'and each of the companion points of said inter-` posed pomts being outside the space between the pivotal points of the first mentioned type bar.

The peculiar shape of the type bar when viewed in normal position from the front will be noted in Fig. 3, the bar having a shape like the letter Z at its pivotal end. By my invention it is Apossible to obtain a wide bearing for each type bar and at the same time employ substantially as many type bars in a given space as could be used with the narrowest possible bearing. In other words it is apparent that by my in vention the usual number and compact arrangement of typebars may be obtained with the additional advantage of unusually wide bearings for t-he type bars. Vit-h a given number of bars and a given sized segment practically-no more space is required for the system of type bars on account of the presence of my wide lbeariiugs becauseas has been observed the bearing arms ofthe type bars reach their pivot-al points by passing through the eyes or spaces' 34 of adjacent type bars. The relative dispositions of the bars in this respect are -diiiicult to make clear in drawings, but `w-ill'be understood from the description heretofore v.given and may be best seen in Fig 2,"wherein itwill be angle to the lon" but which serve to prevent lateral movement or displacement of the outside hanger arms.

In side view,`as best seen in Figs. l, andV 4,` the rear edges of the hanger arms are in contact with the front face of the segment,A

being maintained thereagainst by their securing screws, while the bearing ears of said lia-nger arms project toward the front of the machine and have also a slight upward tendency. A plurality of the bars near the center of the segment, preferably four bars on either` side pf the center or eight in all, have their bearing ears 40 and 41 extending forwardlytan equal amount as appears in Fig. 7, so that their axes of rotation or pivf otal axes (indicated by b-b in said Fig. 7) are substantially in the same vertical plane as the printing line. `The longitudinal axesA (indicated by c-c) of the bars of this center group are parallel with each other and are normally perpendicular to the vertical plane passed through the printing line.

In order to obtain suficient clearance for the types on the ends of the type bars, the group of bars to the left of the center group, and the group vof bars to the right of the center group have their pivotal axes at an angle tothe plane of the axes of the center group and to the plane of the printing line. Each member of the left-hand outside group .of bars ,may be considered as represented in Fig. S.' The hanger ear l0 carrying the left-hand pivotalbearing of each member of this group extends forwardly a less distance than the corresponding hanger ear of any one of the center group of bars, and the right-hand hanger ear il of each member yof the left-hand group extends forwardly or toward the front of the machine a greater distance than the corresponding hanger ear '41 of anyone of the center group of bars.

The result of this varia-tion in the pivotal bearings of the members of the 'i left-hand group is illustrated in Fig. 8, wherein it will be Inoted that the pivotal axis cZ-'(Z of the type bar is at an angle with the pivotal -aXis b-Mb whichv it will be recalled also represents the plane of 'the printing point. The axes Zaland midway between the pivots of the'bar, this result being :due to the, fact that lthe lefthand' ear 40 is :shortened any amountequal tothe amount by which the right-hand ear .4l 'is lengthened. vConsequently the longitudinal axis e-e of each 'type bar of the left-hand group is' thrown or pitched at an ntudinalaxes of .the center asd bars, the angular amount of this pitch or throw being indicated in Fig. 8 by the letter f. The right-hand outside group of bars as represented in'Fig. 9 have their longitudinal axesfgwg thrown or pitched to the right in' a similar manner. By this arrangement-of the bars of the outside groups sut licient clearance is obtained for the type blocks in the basket without aiiiecting the alinement of the types. This result is due to the :tact that though the planes of rotation of the outside bars (which planes may be considered as represented by the longig tudinal axes e--c and g-g in Figs. 8 and 1,5 9) are at angles to the planes ofrotation in which said bars would have swung if they `had not been thrownout--for clearance (said last named planes being represented by c--0), .*yet said angularly,disposed planes (represented by e-e and (g4-g) intersect or coincide in the plane of theprinting point (represented by b b), andconsequently the type bars when brought to said printing plane will all strike at the4 same point.

1t will be understood that the pivotal axes 4*of the center group of bars all lie in a plane which may be lrepresented by the rline b-b in' Fig. 7, while the pivotal axes d Z of the left-hand group lie in planes through the printing point which intersect the plane 7)-6 at equal angles and thatga like arrange` nient is Afound in the right-handgroup o t bars represented in 9. All the bars of the center group lie substantially parallel with each other in the basketg-all the bars of the left-hand group lie substantially parallel with each other in the basket; and all the bars of the right-hand group lie substantially parallel with each other in the basket, the bars of the lett-hand and rightlhand groups being at angles with the bars of the center group. There. is no difference 1 in the construction or proportions of the type bars of the center and side groups, and the only difference between the set of hangers in which the center group of bars are mounted and the sets of hangers in which Vthe side groups are mounted is the dierence in the lengthof the forwardly projecting ears 40 and 111, as indicated in the figures now under discussion. The clearance a (Figs. 3 and .7) betweenthe bearing arms of the type barsand' the inner faces of the hanger ears is sufficient to permit of the necessary angular pitching of the bars of the side groups without causing any interference or contact between the faces of' the hangeiyarms and the' bearing arms of the type bars. The spherical or ro` ided shape of the type bar pivots permits of as free and unobstructed rotary movement ofthe side bars as of the ,center bars.

lThe upper arm 31 of each type bar is flattened orrcompressed as indicated at 119 65 (Fig. 4) and the flattened portion is formed with a hole which isk adapted to receive a pin 51 carried at the forward end of tlielMonarch machine, but it is to be understood that any other form of segment shitting mechanism may be employed or that. the segment may be fixed and the platen made shiftable, or some other arrangement may be made without affecting the essentials ol my invention.

, lVith the type bars and their supports or hangers arranged in the manner that 1 have described I am enabled to provide a bear-l ing for each type bar several times wider thanl that usually obtainable in visible writing machinesrand at the same time to secure a particularly compact assemblage of the type bars on the type bar support. The number of type bars needed in an eightytour character shift machine is forty-two and in practice I have found that such a number of bars of ordinary .length may be assembled wit-hin 'an arc of 1Q()O or less. This is possible because A of my improved method of nesting the bars and their bearing aims, which latter, it will be observed, extend in the plane of rotation of the bar, first away from the axial plane of said-bar and thereafter toward the axial plane of the bar and at the same time laterally away from the sides of the bar and from the plane in which said bar rotates. By the axial plane of theibar I desire to be understood as meaning that plane which embraces the pivotal and longitudinal axes of the bar.

The bar illustrated in Figs. 1 to 12, inclusive, and as heretofore described is pret erably formed of a solid piece of metal, the steps in the ormation oi said bar being illustrated in Fig. 12, The left-hand mein ber of the ygroup shown in Fig. 12 represents the piece afterf-ithas'been dropdorged, the arms 31 andB/J being straight at this stage. In the centrall member of the group these arms 31 and 32 are shown curved or bent inward toward each other forming the eye 34 in the, bar. The right-hand ligure ot the group represents the iinal stage in the shaping of the bar, the arms 31 and 32 `being shown bent outward laterallyto the positions represented in Figs. 1 to l1.

Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate the Inode of dismounting or removing one of the type bars from its place in the machine. 10 shows a group of three type bars with the insonne middle bar oit the group in course of removal. As indicated in said Fig. 10, the

f of the adjoining right-hand hanger. .To ac- Y comphsh this result it necessary to raisehanger arms of the-'bar to be removed are first taken out and the type bar having been disconnected from its link 28 is then raised from the basket at an angle ot' about 300. 'Fh/slitting of the type bar from the basket turns the two bearing arns ofthe bar rearwardly to a position where they will not clash or interfere with the bearing rms of tie adjacent bars at eitherside. From the position indicated in Fig. 10 the middle type bar is`r gradnelly turned or twisted to the right /t-o the position indicated by the full lines in `Fig. l1, and thereafter is still further turnedor twisted -to the dotted line po-y sitions indicated in said Fig. 11. The upper bearing arm 31 is first cleared of the adjoining left hand hanger and then the lower' bearing arm 32 is worked around` through the space between the bearing arms and lower the type bar alternately. When a type bar is to be inserted in placevin the machine the operation just describedis reversed, the bearing arm 32 being* first worked into position` and thereafter the bearing arm 31 being adjusted in place. Then the hanger arms associated with the type bar are introduced into the slots 48 in the segment 46 and made fast to seid segment by securing screws/i4 and Various changes in-the construction andarrangements of the ditlerentparts maybe made without departing'from'the spirit scope of my invention and some examples of these changes are illustrated in Figs-"13 to 15, inclusive, of the drawings, which now bebriedy described.

Fig. 13 shows a 4topplan Viewand.:sidey elevation of a modified form of type bar constructed ot a single piece otsheet metal;

The metal strip composing the bar is folded* to forni an nye 58 for the'type block, fand the body portion 59 of the-bar comprising two thicknesses or' plies vvoli metal is held togetlier near the rear end of the bar as by rivet The rear ends of the plies .are cnrved and to form bearing arms and an eye similar to those already described.

.En llig. 14'- the pivotal bearings 61 are I shown as conical in shape instead of sphcri cal, theinode ot attaching said conical bearings to the hanger arms 62 and 6? bein-'g similar to that hitherto described. The type bar in thiscase is made in three separate parts, a main part G4; and bearing ends 65 and 66, said bearing ends being, provided 'with conical openings or seats ior the pit'w otal bearings. ln assembling the parts, the bearing ends or sections and 6G are irst adjusted on the bearings G1, and the type bar proper is then arranged in Drinting position. 'With the parts so maintained the moving the one piece bar.

ln the modification shown in Fig. l5, the two'bearing ends or sections 67 and $8 have their inner ends reduced to form sm'a-ll stems 69 and 70 which are adapted to lit into suitable holes drilled into theends of the farms pro-perV 71 and 72, which arms extend laterally, from the body or the bar 73, By this construction the parts may be readily held together while the bar is a/djusted in the basket and brought to the printing point, and then the soldering operation hitherto described may be easily performed without likelihood of disarranging the parte.

ln Fig. 15 the two separate andindependent hanger sections in each slot are replaced by a singlepieee 74 and the coned bearings. 61 are forced into opposite ends of -a'single perforation formed in said piece 74. i

The. ortions 31 and 32 of each bar, the sides o these portions being flat and continuations of the sides of the body 30, may be regarded as a yoke, and the port-ions 31h, 319 and 32E.' 32 vas arms connected byA the yokeiwith'. the body or stein 30.
